Trump. “Were thrilled to be joining forces with Fusion for this unique series. We think their audience will be fascinated by its portrayal of the gritty reality of the American political process, and the diverse range of voters, operatives, journalists and pundits who people the campaign trail. Its the human side of the election we rarely see and we think viewers will be hooked, said Adam Pincus, EVP Programming and Content for First Look Media. “Our goal is to shine a light on the aspects of a story that might get lost in everyday media coverage with access to voices that offer unconventional context for viewers. Many people are looking at the 2016 campaign scratching their heads wondering how we all wound up here and this series offers an insightful look at that journey. AJ cleverly unwraps each pivotal moment in what has become the most fascinating and unpredictable election most of us have ever seen, said Keith Summa, SVP Content and Programming for Fusion.
